If the price is right, it might be really good to have that extra vram for AI, or work applications.

First sign that AMD is indeed reacting to what Nvidia does?

 

[Gamerfan81]

Let's hope so, we need more competition in the GPU market.

They've been doing that since the previous generation. One of the reasons I got a 7900XT is because it has 20gb of VRAM.

 

[Celcius]

It would be great to have a card that has 32gb but is nowhere near 600w and doesn't use the new power connector

 

[ShirAhava]

If this is real it might be my next and I haven't gone anywhere near AMD since the RX 580 Pulse in my Hackintosh days

 

[Draugoth]

Nvidia can get fucked

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Useless for gaming

 

[SmoothBrain]

Good, time to end the BS with anything below 16gb for GPUs at 500$ and more.

AI whores will scalp it, even assuming the MSRP is $200+ more over the 9070 XT.

If there is one area that AMD have consistently been ahead of Nvidia in its VRAM at each price point.

Give me an example of when you would need 32. Unless you're running 16k it's useless

modern gaming at any reasonable graphics setting. Plus if the raytracing performance is as good as they say it is, it'll be more futureproof than any Nvidia card not called 5090

"future proof" is one (foolish) thing but there's still no game in existence at any graphics setting that'll need 32 gbs of vram.

you underestimate the ability of developers to not give a fuck

[Codeblew]

If true, I will buy for my next build. I don't know about gaming but 32GB will be great for running local LLM's.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'm gonna be riding my 7900xtx for awhile I'm sure, but I appreciate any kind of competition against Nvidia, and this isn't coming from someone that thinks Nvidia sucks or something. This is my first AMD card in a decade or two, and I'd love to have Nvidia be an actual option for me, but with the way things have gone they haven't been. Will this be a great competition against the 5000 series? Not really sure, but there needs to be healthy competition.

You may not need the full 32gb, but it's more than 16gb and the only nvidia card that offers better than 16gb is the 5090 currently.
Some games with path tracing at 4K will happily use 20gb+ and 16gb doesn't cut it there.

 

[Crayon]

An option for more than 16 is good but 32 is... a lot.

Thinking about it though, not that it's going to be $1000 but at that price 32 sounds about right. The ram isnt THAT expensive.

 

[GreatnessRD]

Fantastic. Let's just hope AMD nails the pricing down if it does come out. Still hopeful with the 9000 series.

 

[General Lee]

If they price it reasonably it might end up being the card to get for local AI on a budget. It could actually make people devote some time to better support open source AI on Radeon. It's certainly an avenue I've wanted for AMD to explore, but I've just assumed they don't want to undermine the professional cards too much. The risk is always that once you do that, Nvidia can always do the same and then you've gained nothing really.
